Led by a born-and-bred Londoner and British Cycling-qualified guide, your adventure begins at the iconic Battersea Power Station before you set off on a premium Giant electric bike along approximately 90% traffic-free riverside paths, parks and green spaces. Escape the crowds and discover a quieter, greener side of London as you explore Battersea Park, the River Thames, historic Putney and the spectacular landscapes of Richmond Park.
The highlight is Richmond Park—London's largest Royal Park and the closest you'll get to the English countryside without leaving the capital. Once part of the royal hunting grounds, it is now home to hundreds of free-roaming deer, ancient woodland and stunning views. This is London's hidden wild side—a timeless landscape where centuries of royal history, ancient woodland and free-roaming deer combine to create an experience most tourists never realise exists. Deer are regularly seen, although, as wild animals, their location naturally varies.

We begin our journey at the striking Battersea Power Station on the Thames, one of London’s most iconic landmarks. After a friendly welcome and safety briefing, we take a short ride around the redeveloped Power Station complex. Here you’ll hear the story of its transformation — from a coal-fired station powering much of London, to a cultural icon in music and film, and now a vibrant riverside destination. This first stop sets the scene, combining cycling with stories that bring London’s past and present to life before we head out along the river.
Next, we cycle into Battersea Park, one of London’s most beautiful green spaces along the Thames. Riding at an easy pace, we explore peaceful tree-lined paths, ornamental gardens, and lakes alive with wildlife. The park offers a quieter, scenic contrast to the bustle of the city, with plenty of photo opportunities along the riverside and within its landscaped grounds. It’s the perfect place to slow the pace, enjoy the fresh air, and experience a more relaxed side of London before continuing our journey towards Putney.
Leaving Battersea Park, we turn up the energy with carefully selected music playing through a portable speaker as we ride the lively stretch of the Thames Path towards Putney. This part of the journey brings us alongside the famous riverside rowing clubs, where you can often see crews out training on the water — a true slice of London sporting life. Across the river you’ll spot Fulham Football Club’s stadium, while the riverside pubs and boathouses of Putney add to the vibrant atmosphere. We pause at Putney Bridge to enjoy the views before continuing our scenic route deeper into southwest London.
From Putney we continue into Richmond Park, London's largest Royal Park and the highlight of the ride. Spanning 2,500 acres, it feels like a countryside escape within the city. We cycle at a relaxed pace through open grasslands and quiet woodland trails, taking in different areas of the park along the way. Keep an eye out for the famous herds of red and fallow deer that roam freely, and depending on the route that day, we may pause by one of the park's tranquil lakes or make our way up to King Henry's Mound — a protected viewpoint with far-reaching views across London and beyond. With around 75–90 minutes inside the park, there's plenty of time to enjoy the natural beauty and capture memorable moments before we loop back round and make our way back towards Battersea.
To complete the journey, we cycle back the way we came — retracing the Thames Path through Putney and Battersea Park, taking in the riverside views from a fresh perspective as the afternoon light shifts. This final stretch gives us time to unwind and reflect on the day's ride before arriving back at Battersea Power Station, our starting point. It's a relaxed, scenic way to finish the tour, with the Thames as your constant companion the whole way home.
